HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A jury will begin in the morning weighing the case of a former Country Day School teacher and coach charged with two counts of sodomy involving a former student.

The task before the jury after three days of testimony is to decide if the accuser, now 21, is lying as the defense argues or if she was the victim of a "pedophile" who hid what he was doing for a number of years, as the prosecution contends.

The day ended with closing arguments and the jury will get instructions from Circuit Judge Ruth Ann Hall Friday morning and then begin deliberations.

Brett Naff, 43, was a successful soccer coach and teacher at Country Day School, which is owned by his mother. Naff was arrested in 2012 after his accuser, a former student and soccer player at the school, came forward and described incidents she claimed occurred from 2004 to 2006.

Naff is charged with two counts of sodomy, including deviant sex with a child under 12 and by forcible compulsion.

Defense attorney Bruce Gardner told jurors the first charge was a "factual impossibility." Gardner argued the accuser testified the first encounter where she claimed she was forced to perform oral sex occurred during the school's summer camp when she was 11 in a room used by the soccer team to cool off and watch videos.

Gardner said that room wasn't built until 2005 based on records provided by the school, so the encounter couldn't have taken place when the girl was 11. Gardner added that the records were just part of the reason to reject the accuser's claims.

"I'm not suggesting any of her testimony is true, quite the contrary," Gardner said.

The attorney argued the alleged victim lied about not returning to Country Day School to visit or play soccer after she graduated from 8th grade, lied to the Alabama Department of Human Resources as a 9th grader about alleged abuse by her mother and tried to lie her way out of running for conditioning during soccer practices.

Madison County Assistant District Attorney Tim Gann and Assistant DA Gabrielle Helix argued the girl was effectively trapped while at Country Day School. Her parents were strong supporters of Naff and the soccer program, she loved playing and she testified that Naff told her she'd have to leave the school and no longer play soccer if she said anything about what they were doing.

Helix stressed in her closing argument that the kids Naff was coaching – both defense and prosecution witnesses said he was a tough, demanding coach – were children, starting as young as 7 and 8. She cited earlier testimony by former players of incidents where Naff called them names, ridiculed overweight kids, kicked a soccer shot that broke a child's wrist and allegedly shook a log forcing two children to fall into a fast-moving creek.

Helix said Naff controlled the girl's environment and as a "pedophile" forced her to perform acts under a blanket where people couldn't see what was going on.

Helix and Gann both took on the argument that the girl was lying, noting that in 2005 some parents at the school were concerned about her welfare after reportedly seeing her sitting with Naff with a blanket over them.

The parents contacted the Huntsville Police Department and DHR. But, according to the girl's parents' testimony this week, she didn't walk to talk to investigators so they hired a lawyer to prevent it. DHR didn't find any other allegations that rose to the level of abuse, according to testimony, and the family's refusal to let the girl testify closed the books on that part of the investigation.

The two prosecutors said the case isn't simply based on the girl's claims, but are corroborated by the concerns raised by parents in 2005. The prosecutors pointed to the testimony of parents and former students who recalled seeing Naff and the girl sitting under a blanket on more than one occasion.

The defense presented testimony from multiple students and soccer players who testified over the past two days in strong support of Naff, hailing his compassion, teaching skills and dedication to improving their soccer skills. All of those students testified they never saw any inappropriate contact between Naff and the girl or any other student. They also testified Naff didn't show favoritism and wasn't bullying.

Gann finished by arguing that the girl had no incentive to lie, because the accusations meant going to court, facing the defendant and being subject to cross-examination.

"Who would want to lie and be part of this process? Why lie and go through this stuff?
